A. Lange & Söhne
is a brand rich with history and pride. With roots dating back to 1845 in the Saxony region of Germany,
this brand has regularly contributed to watchmaking progress. The proof? It has logged nearly
eighty international awards.
Since
its rebirth after the tearing down of the Berlin Wall, the brand has re-embarked on its grand tradition
of watchmaking—developing twenty-four exquisite movements and a host of exclusive timepieces that squarely
mark it as a stellar manufacture.

One
such extraordinary feat is the new 1815 Kalenderwoche—a manually wound year-at-a-glance
calendar. The newest timepiece is housed in the 1815 case that was first designed to honor company
founder Ferdinand Adolph Lange, who was born in 1815.
The new
timepiece is created in a limited edition of 150 pieces to celebrate the 150th anniversary
of long-standing retail partner of the brand Uhren Huber, in Munich.
The watch
houses the manually wound caliber L045.1 movement, with 231 parts and 29 jewels. Precision-adjusted
in five positions, the movement is equipped with a lever escapement, shockresistant glucydur screw
balance and a Nivarox 1 hairspring with a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour. The watch offers
45 hours of power reserve when fully wound.
What
sets this timepiece apart from others is it’s distinctive third hand, which transforms it into
an annual planning instrument.
